Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak has been linked with a move away from the club, and Liverpool are keen on signing the player.
As per Give Me Sport, Newcastle are hoping to tie him down to a new deal, and that will come as a major blow for Liverpool. It is no secret that Liverpool need to sign a quality striker. Darwin Nunez has scored seven goals in all competitions, and Liverpool need a more reliable attacker leading the line for them.
Isak is one of the best strikers in the world right now, and he has been outstanding for Newcastle in the Premier League. There is no doubt that he could improve the Premier League champions immensely. The player currently earns £120,000 at Newcastle, and they are prepared to offer him a lucrative extension. He has been outstanding for them, and he has helped them win the English League Cup this past season. He has also helped them secure Champions League qualification for the next season.
Newcastle must do everything in their power to hold onto the Swedish international for as long as possible. It will be interesting to see if they can convince him to sign a new deal. The striker has proven his quality with Newcastle, and he might feel that this is the right time for him to take on a new challenge.
Isak could be tempted
Joining Liverpool would be an exceptional opportunity for him. They are among the biggest clubs in the world, and they have been fighting for major trophies consistently. They could allow the Swedish International to compete in the Champions League regularly and fight for major trophies.
It will be interesting to see if Liverpool decide to test Newcastle’s resolve with an offer. Convincing the striker to join them should not be too difficult for the club. However, Newcastle are one of the wealthiest clubs in the world, and they do not need to sell their key players. Liverpool will struggle to convince them with money.
It will be interesting to see if Liverpool can bring in a quality striker during the summer transfer window.
